The Senate committee of the last Legisla-
ture found, in substance that the report of
the Civil Service Reform Association respect
ing the insane hospital was made for political
purposes, to inJure the Democratic party. IF
this be true, that party is certainly to be com
miserated upon having 20 many traitors in its
own camp, who furnished false information
for the sole purpose of injuring it. The
records of the board which show the short
comings of Mr.. Gapen were made by Demo
Gratis. DIR. Tarleton, who filed his protest
against Mr.. Hall, is Democrat. Mr.. Roth,
who testified to the villainous character of
the butter and other provisions accepted over
his protest, is Democrat. DR.. Fletcher, who
testified to the cases of cruelty to pa
tients, to the machine management of the
hospital, and to the execrable character of the
supplies is Democrat. The ward reports
which showed the detestable character of the
subsistence were prepared by Democrats. The
record which showed the discharge of more
employees than now in the service of the
hospital was made by Democrat. The
witnesses who testified to the cholera hogs
were Democrats, and, in general, nearly
every witness who testified to the miserable
management which prevails was Democratic
witness. If the conclusions of the committee
were true, it would appear that there must be
great deal of Democratic falsehood and dis
honesty in spreading these reports against
institution managed by their own party. Let
the Democratic party take either horn of the
dilemma, the conclusion is not creditable.
Either the statementsbf these witnesses were
true, or they were not. If true. the charges
against the administration verb proved and
more than proved. If untrue, then the
asylum is the greatest hot-bed for the growth
of SANDER and falsehood to be found within
the precincts of Indiana.
